Texas HB855 prohibits disciplinary actions against physicians' or pharmacists' licenses for off-label use of prescription drugs, except if harm is.

Texas HB855 amends the Health and Safety Code to add a new chapter on the off-label use of prescription drugs. This law prohibits state agencies from taking adverse actions against a physician's or pharmacist's license solely for prescribing, administering, or dispensing a prescription drug for off-label use, or promoting such use to a patient. However, disciplinary action can be taken if the agency proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the conduct caused the patient to suffer physical harm and that the harm began within three years of the conduct.
